Angela Merkel has promised quick financial aid for the parts of western Germany devastated by flooding and has vowed to step up efforts to tackle climate change.

The German chancellor visited a devastated village as the death toll from the flooding in Belgium and Germany climbed above 180.
The authorities expect that figure to rise with many people still missing.
The latest region to be hit by record rainfall and flooding last night was the Berchtesgadener Land district in Bavaria, close to Austria.
The worst hit is the Ahrweiler district south of Cologne, along with North Rhine-Westphalia and Rhineland Palatinate states, leaving entire communities cut off and without electricity.
Our reporter Anja Popp is in western Germany for us now.

Merkel is the worst thing that could have happened to Germany after Hitler! The woman is a criminal on their own people. #fckmerkel
Merkel? 🤬
Politiker from Germany were filmed, wenn they had fun, laughing loud in the background
Merkel is a devil
Are the Germans dredging their rivers?
Mitagation and adaption is all humanity can do now..these rain events have been building in intensity and frequency .
I live next to a stream thats been flooding bigger and bigger..people think Im just being hysterical. Now I shut up and prepare.
We are way past 'tipping points', it is now the responsibility of every PM, President or Chancellor in power~ right now~ to declare a national emergency ~ worldwide ~ to immediately halt Capitalist render of our earthly environment.
2:11 No words in the German language to describe the devastation? Then say it in Javanese: ambyar….
Need to get China's building moving genies over n move the town's up the hill! But then the western world doesn't do big solutions
Last year we were warned that global heating would lead to lower rainfall in Europe in summer and increased droughts.
Did we listen?
Did you listen?
Whats climate change action got to do with this? Mother nature can never be controlled we all wish people never die but climate change has absolutely got nothing to with this. WAKE UP.
sad because the storm and the consequences were known.
but no politician acted.
no state money is used either to Help the people Here.
Merkel only says donate.
We germans spent so much fucking Money for other countrys but no money for the own folk.
Trust me i'm a German
The flood hit me too. And y'all know what's the best? Merkel dont want to help us with money etc. She want that everyone else out of Germany give us money, but we are the first who help other countries if there are floods or earthquakes..smh..idk what to do, i dont know how to pay everything
Вы принимали наворованое как инвистиции! Мы очень озабочены вашими преступлениями! Преступления следует прекратить! Если нет, дальнейшие события усугубятся!
Merkel is a walking disaster zone herself!
Climate change take news
One of the first things she talks about is climate change… Of course, because it's all apart of their plan…
Merkel hat immer für den Kreml und Putin gearbeitet. Wahrscheinlich süchtig seit meiner Jugend, als ich Kommunist war.
